The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 330 Great Sadness, Great Joy, Ups and Downs
Taking the exam in the same subject as Liang Junjie, and Zhou Jian'an from the same provincial capital as them, he was even the master of Juren in the previous session.

It's just that Li Xiuping won the first prize that time, while Zhou Jian'an could only go back to his hometown to study for three years and then set off again and then went to Beijing again to catch up for the exam.

Moreover, he came to Beijing earlier than Liang Junjie, and he had already rented a yard in the capital to live and study hard behind closed doors years ago.

Of course, Zhou Jian'an's conditions are not as good as Liang Junjie's now, even if he is a classmate of Mrs. Li, how can he be as good as his brother-in-law who can live in Li's mansion and get advice from the last champion?

But before the exam, Zhou Jian'an also went to Li Mansion to learn Buddhist scriptures from Li Xiuping.

Even if he couldn't compare Liang Junjie with more time and times, Li Xiuping didn't hide his secrets, and explained to his classmates all the things he could think of that should be paid attention to during the exam.

In particular, this is the second time for Zhou Jianan. Generally speaking, he should have some experience, right?

But Zhou Jianan was extremely nervous, fearful, and extremely uncertain.

In addition to studying hard, Zhou Jianan will also feel emotionally with his classmates who live together now:

"This person is really different. At that time, I was studying in the government school, and I had to pass the exam more than once; and Brother Li was not only the youngest student in our school at that time, but also won the Jieyuan in one fell swoop.

Later, he went to Beijing to rush for the exam with Master Li. He first won the first prize and then directly won the first prize.

and I……"

As he spoke, Zhou Jianan burst into tears.

Although Zhou's family is not poor, after all, Zhou Jian'an is not young, and the children in the family have all started to read books.

Will he go to take the exam with his son in the future?

It's too embarrassing, and to be honest, the older you are, the younger you are in terms of energy and spirit.

So this time, Zhou Jian'an was at the bottom of the boat. Thinking it was the last time, if it was really not a big deal, he went back to his hometown to seek a job as a recruiter.

It's just that in this life, he may not be able to make great achievements.

After thinking about it, he felt unwilling, and his classmates also gave him support and encouragement.

Only before the exams would I go to Li Mansion to visit and ask face-to-face for advice, forgetting about face first, and solving practical problems is the most important thing.

But Li Xiuping feels that reading is his own business after all, and some basic content needs to be read by himself or taught by the teachers in the college.

Whether it is Liang Junjie or Zhou Jianan, he has the same attitude, if he has not mastered the basic knowledge after a few years.

Is there still a need to go to the capital to take the exam?

However, out of past friendship, Li Xiuping still said something, mainly about experience.

Let's do our best to know the destiny. In fact, Li Xiuping still feels that learning is mainly based on oneself. No matter how good others say, it is just icing on the cake.

Although what Li Xiuping said was cryptic, Zhou Jian'an probably understood it, anyway, he ended up holding back his energy.

Then try to exert your greatest strength. In fact, it will be easier to look at the problem after you have a peaceful mind.

Whether you can pass the exam is the same thing. If you are not strong enough, even if you pass the exam once or twice by chance, you will have to face thousands of problems in the future when you become an official in the court for decades.

He himself is not an outstanding and talented person, and when he encounters various problems, that is the real end.

If he fails the exam, he will go back to his hometown at most. The Zhou family's financial resources are there, and he can apply for a job by himself.

Anyway, it can ensure that parents, wives and children have no worries about food and clothing.

The officialdom is changing rapidly, and once something goes wrong, one may not be able to keep one's head.

After his mentality stabilized, Zhou Jianan was not as afraid of big ups and downs as he was before.

Before the announcement of the list, he went to Li Mansion to visit, and had a drink with Li Xiuping and Liang Junjie.

He didn't say how he did in the exam and didn't ask Liang Juren's grades. Instead, he raised his glass first:

"It's good to be able to pass the exam, if I fail the exam again this time, I'm ready to go back and find a job with all my heart.

It would be best if there are vacancies in the county government, and if there are no vacancies, you can also teach. In short, the books I have read for so many years should also play a role. "

In addition to studying for education these days, he also chatted with Brother Li many times.

Indeed, there are so many scholars in the world, and not everyone can pass the exam and finally become an official.

So other people, after reading books for so many years, do they really have no room for development?

No, just like what Brother Li said, you can't really answer the saying "a scholar who is useless is a scholar".

After taking a sip of the wine, the smile on Zhou Jianan's face deepened, and he said in a self-deprecating way:

"If you want to go to a prefectural school to be an academic officer, my qualifications may not be enough, but the county school teachers in our county are not enough. I will go back to teach and educate people. I only hope that I can also train promising students like Brother Li in the future. .”

Li Xiuping seldom drank, so of course he raised his glass to clink with Zhou Jianan at this moment, and finished the drink in one gulp.

That meal was already regarded as a farewell feast, Zhou Jianan thought about going back after the announcement of the rankings, and he did not know when he would be able to see his former classmates again.

So that day, I opened my arms and spoke my heart out.

In the end, God played a big joke on him.

Or, later on, Zhou Jianan also heard about Madam Li's blessing, so he laughed along with it.

Unexpectedly, this time when the list was released, Zhou Jianan actually saw his own name;

Although, it is very late, and the 290 seventh place is almost at the end.

But no matter what, it will be successful, as long as you pass the test, you will be eligible to participate in the palace examination, and you can be regarded as a Jinshi no matter how bad you are in the future.

Even if it was just from the same Jinshi background.

Before the people who announced the good news went to various places to announce the good news, Li Xiuping, who was born in the Imperial Academy, naturally knew the result of the test first.

His brother-in-law Liang Junjie passed the exam, and even his classmate Zhou Jianan, who has no hope, is also at the bottom of the list. This is really good news.

Let alone Liang Junjie now, Zhou Jian'an would definitely not go back so early, and no matter what, he would have to wait for the imperial examination to obtain his birth certificate.

Whether it is returning to the hometown or seeking a small official in other places, it can be regarded as an official, which is better than being an official or an academic official.

Fang Qingqing also knew about these things. On the one hand, she was happy for Li Xiaomei, and the family members were happy to prepare a banquet after the palace examination to celebrate.

In private, Fang Qingqing also said to Li Xiuping: "Now the sister-in-law of the Zhou family can be considered proud."

After all, when she went to the government school to take care of Li Xiuping's exams, she lived with Zhou's sister-in-law, and the two of them had lived together.

And at that time, Zhou's sister-in-law really took care of her a lot, Fang Qingqing always remembered this love.

Li Xiuping nodded and said: "I only hope that they can perform well in the next palace exam. It would be much better if they can be ranked second."

In fact, Li Xiuping knew it well, this really can only be regarded as auspicious words, it is really difficult for Liang Junjie and Zhou Jianan to be ranked second in the current level.

There is a third-best Jinshi background, and it is much better to go back to the hometown to seek a job than to just be a master.
